Gill's Notes on the Bible
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts,.... As he hardened the hearts of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, that his power might be displayed in their destruction:
that they should come against Israel battle; and so fall in it:
that he might destroy them utterly; for their abominable wickedness, idolatry, incest, c. they had been guilty of:
[and] that they might have no favour which they would have had, had they made peace as the Gibeonites did; or that they might not pray and make supplication, the Lord not giving them a spirit of supplication, but an hard heart, as Gussetius f observes the words may be interpreted, though he seems to prefer the former, sense:
but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses; Deuteronomy 7:1.
f Comment. Ebr. p. 272.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 11:20. It was of the Lord to harden their hearts — They had sinned against all the light they had received, and God left them justly to the hardness, obstinacy, and pride of their own hearts; for as they chose to retain their idolatry, God was determined that they should be cut off. For as no city made peace with the Israelites but Gibeon and some others of the Hivites, Joshua 11:19, it became therefore necessary to destroy them; for their refusal to make peace was the proof that they wilfully persisted in their idolatry.
